I don’t know, but when I looked at those pictures of the Queen I suddenly felt very proud that we have such a person as our Queen. We won’t have her forever. We should cherish her more than ever.

I'm not a Royalist, but when I looked at those photos (thanks for the link) I felt very homesick.
Many Happy Returns HM !!

The photos are fantastic. It makes me proud to be a Brit seeing her doing the walkabout. Can you imagine Bush having the bollocks to do a walkabout? (unless the "crowd" were carefully pre-screened supporters
)
